Money management is perhaps the first and most important thing to learn. Patience is the second. Good luck.

Unfortunately there is not much good data to give a review for this week. My vps mucked me about.
Even with the mucking about profit was still gained by the TE with @280 and then the TE with with $340
managed to make profit overnight after two weeks of having been frozen.
Redbaron are you ready to dive in and begin testing. This one be looking good friend

Was mucking about with banksata code. I tweaked one line back tested it and it was a profit guzzler. {file} May the forward test prove it so. One of the TE's has it.The TE is named accordingly. I am also testing trading time. As said earlier Hr1 proved worse than Min15. So now comparing Min15 to min 1. Tick mode was a strain on the vps
try to use another broker to test one of your ea version. it will be more clear.

Yes, I saw c1borg's AI thread. Thanks.

Unfortunately, Steve Hopwood tends to chase away gifted contributors from his site on a regular basis. Most discussions there are heavily stifled, sadly.

Steve is a prolific coder and a relatively astute trader, but his skills as a site admin are abysmal. The talent he has chased away could have lifted his site far beyond anything there today.

Hello FF members.
Hope you all good. Was just going through banka busta. I noticed the default had every tick mode as true. (This is bad)
I also carried out some back tests and found that tweaked on Hr1 chart without a basket equity manager will have better yields.( Now we forward test to confirm that)
So here is updated versions

Just to recap. We no longer testing for a strategy we have one. Bollinger band Period 20 and 80 on a hour chart. Got that . good next

We now testing for the best chart trading time and if there is need for equity basket manager or not.
I have chosen to test for Hr1 and Min 15 chart trading time. Hr 1 chart has tweaked version and no equity basket manager.
While Min 15 has V3 with equity basket manager.

If anyone is willing please test Min 30 trading time. You have to change it in Expert Advisor. In the input section it says trading time, you change that.
Who ever does take up min30 test v3 and tweaked.

Thanks guys and gals. You da best. Its on bradah yadah

Guys and gals, some one has been doing forward tests for me too. taaaa raaah Majami vice
I have been chatting on Private message system where he was showing what he put together.
It turns out there is a powerful Bot on this thread called strategy 06 , which if trading time is set to Min15 is doing an awesome job of raking in profit.

Sadly have gone through the thread and could not find strategy06. Reading in Majami, I am sure everyone would love you to post the link. Imagine that having lost a good bot like that.

Anyway here is a link to fxblue https://www.xxxxxx NOT ALLOWED
click on the strategy tab and the magic number 151006 is the bot.

Great job majami. Round of applause to you. Good guy just working in the back ground and bam shows you results.

if you use the files in post #169 https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...8#post12448998

that is version 3. Default is fine , the results will be similar to my trade explorer's as that is what I am testing.

If you it is no problem with you, you could change the trading time frame to Min30 in the input section of the EA as you attach it to the chart.


Thanks for forward testing

Hey Candman, thanks for the Banksta Busta ... I put it on test for you. Doesn't look like it's FIFO compatible.

Any idea if the basic strategy is incompatible with FIFO or maybe just the position close code?

Thanks!

Why would any self-respecting professional put up with Steve Hopwood? The first time I got locked out of a thread I started simply because the prose of an article I referenced contained academic gibberish I'd simply walk away. Not worth the time, surely? So it must be a scam after all.

ps. I just finished your (short) thread and it's an inspiring story! You quit your job to learn to code (good idea) to build a forex robot (bad idea - but same as mine You spent five years on it, hit a rough patch but now things are turning up. From my research, 5 years is the average (minimum?) time it takes to get good enough to profit at this game.

I'm not saying you shouldn't take a break, or spend less time on it, but you're fighting the fight! You're an inpsiration, dude.

Also, I know this thread is worth following because it's mostly being ignored which means it passes Clemmo's Conjecture.

All that to say, hi, and thanks for making this.

Some good traders and coders congregate there. Most likely due to the better signal to noise ratio. Something Hopwood's random bannings helps to foster. Unfortunately, he clearly chases away gifted talent all to often while calling posters unwarranted, nasty names.

I have found some of the best templates, trading panels and multi-pair EAs at that site.

Sad, but true.

The basic strategy is incompatible. But easy enough to make compatible. One one chart tell EA to only buy buy orders on oanother chart only sell orders.
That said there should be still a bit of tweaking about to do
